"Marant" that we don't talk about vaccination in the document that you impose with zeal and firmness, yet that's the crux of the problem... as if you wanted to hide something
If we compare the covid mortality of Japan, whose population is well vaccinated with mRNA vaccines, with Hong Kong, another island with an even more extreme zero-Covid strategy, whose elderly population was reluctant to be vaccinated, and the few was with the Chinese vaccine, we can clearly see the difference when the first omicron variants arrived, there is no comparison

WhileOmicron causes fewer deaths as a proportion of the number of cases in most countries of the world,in Hong Kong, it is the origin ofa real carnage since 5% of infected people die from it. Explanations.
In a territory that has favored the zero-Covid strategy to the extreme, the vaccination was clearly botched. At the beginning of February,69% of Hong Kong residents aged 80 and over were unvaccinated. This is one of the lowest vaccination levels of countries in the Asia-Oceania zone for this age group.
In total, only 31% of Hong Kong residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine. And the quality of the vaccine is in question since two thirds of them had to settle for Sinovac, the vaccine made in China whose protection against Omicron is very weak. Very few have had the Messenger RNA vaccine from BioNTech and Pfizer.
And with its vastly superior transmissibility, Omicron is therefore wreaking havoc in this poorly vaccinated society. With 38 deaths per million people these days, Hong Kong has the highest rate ever recorded in the world since the start of the pandemic. And according to the FT, since “the start of Omicron, every case of Covid has been between 20 and 50 times more deadly in Hong Kong than in the countries of the zone". Thus, 5% of the cases resulted in death in Hong-Kong against 0,3% in South Korea, 0,2% in Japan and 0,1% or less in Singapore, in South Korea and New Zealand.
